Sneaker Watch Classic // NBA Summer League

With the NBA Summer League kicking off this week in Orlando and later on this month in Las Vegas, the Association's official Facebook page took a trip down memory lane with a great album of summer league shots of the game's current stars.

From LeBron James to Kevin Durant to Derrick Rose, enjoy a great look at the league's biggest names all before they even played an official regular season game.

Summer League is also often the very last time that many elite pro players go without a shoe deal. While LeBron inked his massive $90 Million deal with Nike just before the draft, you'll notice that guys like Dwyane Wade, DRose and Russell Westbrook were still testing the waters before officially signing their deals.
